Lodging options in Tacoma include the Tacoma Days Inn, La Quinta Hotel, the brand new Courtyard by Marriott in downtown Tacoma or the Hotel Murano , the perfect places to stay for the festival! These hotels are close to the epicenter of the Tacoma Jazz & Blues Festival and both provide a magnificent place to stay, close to many excellent restaurants, shopping, museums and other cultural venues.
